Planets follow the laws of gravity as described by Sir Isaac Newton and detailed by Johannes Kepler. ... But not quite... Einstien discovered something years later that will blow your mind if you take the trouble to check it out.
You would have learned a lot more (and still can) by looking deeper.

What makes a solar system spin?
what makes it spin is the force of gravity in space that keep our planets in place anbd how they move.(the solar system is spining right now.)
Which type of force keeps planets in their orbits and makes the sun attract planets towards itself?
It's called the force of gravity which makes all masses attract one another. The Sun's gravity dominates the solar system because the Sun is so much bigger and more massive than anything else in the s/s.
Why does a star's wobble indicate that a planet is nearby?
Orbiting planets exert a gravitational force that makes the star wobble in a tiny oval pattern .
How are Uranus and Neptune similar?
They have the same gas which makes it blue. Neptune affected Uranus by th force.
What shape does the planets make when they circle the sun?
The planets do not circle the sun in any specific shape. Their orbits around the sun are more elliptical than circular, and each planet has its own unique elliptical orbit.
What makes a circular path around the sun?
The planets follow Kepler's law of planetary motion which says they travel in ellipses. A circle is a special case of an ellipse with eccentricity equal to zero. Some planets have elliptical orbits with very low eccentricity, so their orbits are almost circular.
Why do all the planets orbit?
Planets orbit around the Sun because of the Sun's gravitational force, it makes the planets move by its gravitational force.
What do you call the force that makes an object follow a circular path?
It is called centrifugal force
What makes the planets travel around the sun?
the gravitational pull of the sun is making the planets orbit it.
What is the force that makes your weight change on different planets?
Gravity
Types of torque?
There is no specific type of torque. Torque is only the 'Circular' force that makes the body move in the circular path.
What makes planets revolve around the sun?
Inertia (resistance to a change of force) and gravity (force of attraction) makes them revolve.
What does centrifugal force do to the earth as it rotates?
it makes us roatate around in circular motions
Which force makes earth and sun stable in its orbit?
The force of gravity helps to keep the Earth and Sun stable in its rotation. Without gravity, the planets would float around knocking into each other or would travel too close to the sun.
The centripetal force that makes the Moon travel in a circle around the Earth instead of continuing in a straight line is?
As the moon orbits the Earth, the force of gravity acting upon the moon provides the centripetal force required for circular motion.
What is the force that can be thought of as either a push and pull as long as it makes the object move in a circular path?
centripetal
What causes a hurricane to travel with force?
a hurricane does not travel or move the energy inside it makes it move
